Very good no-nonsense clear info on how basically with all the different steps a Magic game actually works. It's been ages that I picked up my cards, so it's a breath a fresh air to see a clear vid like this on how-to-play. :)
+Buccobucco thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
thank you ! Please do more, magic seems like a secret club and I want in...
Luke Skywalker haha it's hardly a secret club. All are welcome! Keep learning and find some fantastic MTG CZcams channels! Good luck!
the GOAT vid, coming from Arena where all the prompts are done for me, this is extremely helpful
You saved my life, i was struggling to learn about the phases and you teached me very well, thank you truly!
Haha glad it helped!
Awesome video. Its one thing to be told how to play but you make the untap and tap make sense. It was great to see a mock game. I got a starter deck for me and my friend to learn and play one another. I dont think competitive is for us. But for fun among us sounds great.
Heck yeah! Enjoy the game! Eventually you'll want to maybe play some Commander, where you choose a single legendary creature as your army leader and face off against each other. It's a more casual format and can be played by more than 2 players (4 is ideal).
Another suggestion is to try MTG Arena. 100% free and lots of fun to play!
@@brianfediuk I have a two starter commander decks from the shop. They said Id like commander as its easy to build having only one card of each type besides basic lands. So me and my buddy are trying them out. But the regular 60 card decks come sometime early november. We cant wait. Since we plan on playing in house we are ignoring the sets/standard deck use rules. I think thats what its called.
Yeah make it a super casual game first. Any card is allowed. This is called "kitchen table magic"
@@brianfediuk oh yeah we have been playing tons of casual. I went to a card game store near my house and got even more decks and even ventured out to boost one of the command decks and half make it new. I like the Landfall and Populate decks the most.
That was a pretty funny blooper at the end, you should totally talk about mtg lore if that is something you're interested in. Anyways good video I sent it to my friends who want to get into magic it was very helpful to them.
This is a very helpful video. My son and I have gotten into Pokemon recently having built lots of meta decks and we also play theme decks. I never really considered MTG but it just looks so fun and different from Pokemon. I ordered an Arena Starter kit and 2 Planeswalker decks to start with. Wish me luck in teaching my son as he is young but he picked up Pokemon quick. More MTG videos please!
I'll work on it! Thanks for the feedback! Try MTG arena on PC!
did your son eventually pick it up?
Thanks! Learning by yourself is hard man. :)))
Very helpful. Attacking/blocking confuses the hell outta me. More plz!
thanks so much rhis is exactly what I needed to learn the fundementals
Happy to help!
@@brianfediuk wow you replied thanks
I have a questions. When you cast a creature on your main phase it cant attack, but if opponent attacks you on their next turn can you defend with that creature? And how exactly does taping creatures work?
Yes, a creature can block at any point. Not being able to attack is called "summoning sickness". It means the creature cannot attack or use tap abilities.
You do not tap a creature to block. You simply block with it if you want to, and are able. A tapped creature cannot be declared as a blocker.
Tapping creatures works by turning it sideways to show it has been "used". A popular older card called Prodigal Sorcerer is a good example of a creature with a tap ability. You cannot attack AND tap it to use abilities. You must choose which you want to do.
very helpful for beginners. thanks!
+denny lane sombillo glad to help! I'll be doing MTG videos soon, so stay tuned!
i like this one the audio is good and it is imformitive
great video bro
Thanks! Glad it helps :)
generic "no sleeves?!" comment
Honestly, I threw together a bunch of cards I didn't care about.
Thank you
How many colours can you play in a game deck? Struggling to decide on my deck
Your first few decks should be 1 or 2 colors to get a feel of the game. Anything more than 3 requires some advanced piloting and deck building.
Famine says deals 3 damage to each creature and each player. I thought that would mean it kills your creature and the player takes 3 damage. Could someone please explain this to me?
Each creature and each player means everything: Your creatures take 3 damage. Your opponent's creatures take 3 damage. You take 3 damage. Your opponent takes 3 damage.
Amazing video mate
Thanks!
Sup that helped me
Wow thx all because of you I beat my uncle 2 times in a row and he been playing magic sense he was in high school lol thx 😄❤️
Happy to help!!!
Hello I have only 4 kinds of leaves are red, white, green and black took it like this Is there a problem...?
There is not a problem. The 5 colors are optional. Most people make a deck that only includes 1 or 2 colors. With more colors, it becomes difficult to build a deck that reliably gives you access to more colors.
I was wondering what the battered golem would be useful for. Does it stay untapped for all turns once an artefact enters?
You could attack with it, then play an artifact to get it ready to block. Or enchant it with a Quicksilver Dagger for some fun shenanigans
Awesome video)) thanks so much! (Lol at the end)
Happy to help!
Do you have to recharge the lands with mana or how does it work. Anyone reply
Nope! Lands "recharge" during the untap phase. They're as good as new once untapped.
thank you so much you made me understand
Glad to help! Just understand that there is a lot more to learn about the game. Keep playing and keep learning!
Brian Fediuk how does the opponent block
An opponent chooses which creatures will block the attacking creatures. The opponent may block one attacking creature with multiple of his/her creatures.
Brian Fediuk one more question what do zombies do
+Lenny Greco they are just creatures like any other creatures in the deck.
Why wait to put a creature down in the 2nd main phase?
Gives your opponent less information before you attack to deal damage. If you have a 2/2 and attack, your opponent might use a kill spell to get rid of it as an attacker. But then after they waste the kill spell you drop a 4/3 that can do more damage. Had you dropped the 4/3 before attacking, they might let the 2/2 live and save the kill spell for the 4/3.
Thanks man. Makes sense. Just started playing. One last question. Can you use a creature’s abilities right when you put them out when they have summoning sickness? You may have mentioned it. I mean the abilities where you have to tap the creature
Dang his opponent sucked
Didn't even show up. What a scrub.
U need a mat g?
Nah I'm good thanks!
only thing is that i think he should have played agenst someone else for a better example
when the game was fun
Still is if you have the right friend group :)
??friend?? what's a friend??@@brianfediuk
Is there anyone out there that actually has a good tutorial on how to play, every tutorial I have found is horrible.
I thought mine was decent? You should try MTG Arena
How con you lose life
There are several ways to lose life. First, all damage causes that much life to be lost, so if a sorcery says it does 2 damage to a player, that player would lose 2 life from the damage. Secondly, damage from unblocked attacking creatures causes loss of life. Third, some cards literally can make a player lose life. This is very similar to damage, but there are some weird scenarios where loss of life could kill a player where damage wouldn't, such as a card that "prevents all damage that would be dealt this turn". Under that scenario, loss of life still causes a player's life total to decrease.
Need to play with a fake opponent. As a beginner I don’t understand why you’re making any of the choices you’re making.
Of course. This is just an explanation of how mechanics work. I would suggest playing MTG Arena to get some exposure.
Thank you
You're welcome!
